Alvin Cullum York (December 13, 1887 – September 2, 1964), known also by his rank, Sergeant York, was one of the most decorated soldiers of the United States Army in World War I. He received the Medal of Honor for leading an attack on a German machine gun nest, taking 35 machine guns, killing at least 28 German soldiers, and capturing 132 others. This action occurred during the United States-led portion of the broader Meuse-Argonne Offensive in France to breach the Hindenburg line and make the opposing German forces surrender.

I absolutely l Loved the movie about him. He was quite a hero. And one with faith in Gid and integrity. I don't believe they even try to make public many of our heros anymore. It saddens me for this young generation. I already know my grandchildren will never know the America my generation did. It hurts me.
